Scope & Purpose
● SDUs - New implementation development/CR Delivery/AMC Projects
● Teams requesting for Perennial branches
● Teams in which non-sequential release is the new normal

Process notes
● Branches contains Release candidates and Trunks have Release deliveries.
● Auto-tagging of Releases after every Parameterized Trunk build (Optional for
DIT).
● Trunks’ integrity achieved with restricted access to an individual.
Risks
● EOL of Branches/Trunk
● Integrity of Branches
○ Direct Checkin’s at Trunk
○ Branches being used for non-intended purposes
○ Manual source copy across branches
Pros & Cons
● Minimal BP Processing ● Timely Merges/Retrofits across
● Instant Feedback Releases branches/Trunk.
● Better CI/CD Pipelines and SAST ● Ability to check-in code at
● Source baseline as per RMNP elementary level
model
Prerequisites
● Designated owners for Independent merges & conflict resolution.
● Elemental source check-in by Developers
● One-Time Branch Plan for Branching Model migration
Best bet
● AMC Projects
● Implementations with simpler Delivery lifecycle
Rationale:
● Lesser phases in Delivery lifecycle
● Less Dynamics in Delivery Prioritization
● Less frequency of Releases
